Hi David

hopefully it should be easy enough to follow. Even though i had already setup the message filter, using the context menu will still take you back to the way where i went through the tools then filter way.. I just figured the rule is already setup so i went in to show what sections were done if you get what I mean.

Hopefully it helps and doing it off the email was the easiest way for the nvda list.

Hi Gene NZ,

Thanks a lot for this. I am definitely interested in this. I will give this a listen.

Hi

 

 

I done a quick audio tutorial on how to create a basic filter in thunder

bird. The filter must be done on the inbox.

 

 

the other thing i done before setting up the filter was to create a

folder for the emails to go into. for example nvda emails

 

 

When the filter is set up and running all emails from the nvda list will

go into the nvda emails folder.

 

Because i had already made a filter for it to be done I couldive done it

through the context menu, then set it up.

 

 

That way will still take you back to the way shown in the audio tutorial

and the same steps as doing it through the tools then filter menu.

 

 

Also doing it through the menus which i show in the tutorial  it will

give you a idea of where to look either to edit or remove a filter or

even create a new one.

 

 

I will put the audio tutorial on my accessible email client mozilla

thunder bird page in the next day or so. Plus there will be a please

note that the filter must be done on the inbox etc

 

 

Others might be interested in-doing the same thing so i will post a drop

box link here for others to listen 2.

 

 

The link to the tutorial is

The steps are the same whether you use the context menu and go in that

way or do it through the tools then filter menu.

Well, I pretty much second your question, except from me being totally
depending on being able to use spreadsheets. Will NVDA let me operate
the equivalent to MS Excel, under either OpenOffice or LibriOffice?

It doesn't matter how many sites may say this. Many sites may have
incorrect information. It is important to get information from reliable
sites. Windows XP hasn't been supported for a number of years. Do a
google search for Windows XP support end and look at results from good
sources such as Microsoft's information or PC World or other reputable
sites.

Here is a quote from Microsoft.
"After 12 years, support for Windows XP ended April 8, 2014."

That is quite simply incorrect. Microsoft ended all official support for
Windows XP in 2014, and that was extended support. Base support ended in
2008. See this official announcement (

That could be why mine is working differently. I take it NVDA didn't
keep repeating the current icon before 2016.4rc1?

Hi, everyone,


I have all the other rules set up ok but the one for the NVDA list
isn't working. Last night I was up almost until midnight trying to
correct the mistake I made. I tried everything I could think of to
make thunderbird put the NVDA messages in the correct folder. I don't
know what to do anymore. I'm having to move everything to that folder.
What could I be doing wrong?


Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello,

NVDA cannot do this natively in most apps.

However, there is an add-on called something similar to “Fake Clipboard Announcement” that will do this all the time like what you are used to. It’s on the NVDA Addons site if I remember right.

Hope this helps,

Chris,

          I think that anyone who's ever worked for anyone else who supplied computer equipment knows that you're at the mercy of your employer's decisions, and those decisions often have nothing to do with what makes the most long-term sense.

          That being said, I think the question, "Why are you sticking with XP?," is directed at those who have the ability (and that includes finances, we all get forces of economics) to change, but don't.  The most frequent reason I hear is a variant on, "Because that's what I'm used to."  Well, you weren't when you first started using it and every version of Windows except Windows 8, which was a weird change in a lot of ways, has a very strong set of roots in its predecessors.  I see that more in Windows 10 than I ever did in 8 or 8.1 - those two releases seemed to be when Microsoft was thinking about the world as if it was all touch-screen and tablet oriented and that desktop computers would be passe.  Win 10 has wedded pretty much all that I liked up through Win7 with the few things I liked in Win8 as well as throwing in some very useful new stuff.  My clients who have gone from Win7 to Win10 seem less traumatized by the transition than going from Win7 to Win8 or Win8.1.

          At this time, barring outside forces such as the ones you're dealing with, it makes very little business sense or computing sense to keep nursing Windows XP along if you're using it in cyberspace connected environments.  It's a huge security risk just do to what's not been patched for almost 3 years now in the OS and sometimes longer in the third-party software on it.

           I've said it before, and not only about Windows, either, but there is a great advantage to transitioning to a newer OS not on the bleeding edge, but when there's a huge cohort doing it at the same time.  Right now the ability to find Windows 10 information that's up to the minute and widely available is very high.  As time goes by that decreases, and people no longer have it "fresh on their minds" when it comes to questions about what they did to get a specific setting tweaked, for instance.  I couldn't tell you now probably way more than half of what I used to know like the back of my hand about Windows XP because it's been years since any employer I've worked for used it or I've used it as my primary OS.  In certain respects the same thing will occur with Windows 10, too, well before it's replaced because so many things are "set it and forget it," both literally and figuratively.

Back to the subject:  Third-Party developers tend to drop active support for a given OS very shortly after the OS manufacturer does.  Backward compatibility may exist for a while "by chance," but it will eventually be terminated when there's a conflict between being able to create what the developers believe is an improved product that runs on a supported OS and backward compatibility.
